Hi everyone, I'm Joanna.

And I'm Jenny.

And this is hyphenated, the podcast about living in the hyphen.

And this is part two of our spooky episode about creepy shit.

So last week we covered some pretty specific scary stories from El Silbon to La Sajona.

And this week we're going to be covering some more universally known Latin American folk tales.

And maybe you guys have heard of it.

Maybe you haven't.

But hopefully we're going to tell you stuff that you haven't heard about these creepy critters.

These creepy crawlies, creepy tales from the crypt, cryptocurrency.

I feel like, all right, every single culture has a boogeyman, right? This sort of like overarching,

scary monster that is responsible for a bunch of bad of things. I feel like it, unlike the,

the scary stories we heard last week, which is like a very specific beginning,

middle and end of this hero's journey, this like anti-heroes journey, I feel like El

Kukui is the boogeyman in Latin America. And to be totally honest with you, I know absolutely

nothing about it Kukui other than the fact that he's scary.

But like who came up with these names?

Because like boogeyman sounds like either he loves dancing disco or he has a lot of mokos.

A povre.

Like he has allergies.

Like the boogeyman.

And then you have El Cuckooi who also goes by El Cucco or El Coco.
